Hansel & Gretel

October 30, 2018

Hansel & Gretel

Getting into that spooky, Halloween mood with this classic from the Brothers Grimm. They sure know their stuff when it comes to these types of stories, and I love them dearly for it!! Vegan Caramel Apples, here I come!

and…

Of all the things in this painting that I love:

  • A ginormous witch with the most spindly, bony arms

  • & that expression on the gingerbread man’s face.

It’s enough to make an artist proud, for sure.

Bear Mitten

December 12, 2016

Bear Mitten   7"x7"  watercolor on paper

Our bear friend has quite a large sweet tooth, he's a gentle giant and will never turn down an opportunity for candy. He's one of my favorites from my series Smitten with the Mitten.

Confession: I'm a bit jealous of his red mittens, and I'll admit that I wish they were real so I could snatch up a pair for myself! I can picture a jolly elf sporting a set of those mittens as well.

Thankful for Friendly Windows and Pumpkin Pie

Thankful for Friendly Windows and Pumpkin Pie   10"x12"  watercolor on paper

Thanksgiving thoughts from this bunch of happy critters? Good friends, friendly windows, and pumpkin pie. Hope you get the chance to enjoy a slice of pie during the holiday as well! And if you have any leftovers, why not share a slice with a furry friend?

Happy Thanksgiving!
